PRINT cast(111 as decimal(38,35)) / 23
--> 4.82608695652173913043478260869565217
then here
DECLARE @Zähler decimal(38,35)
, @Nenner decimal(38,35)
SET @Zähler = 111.0
SET @Nenner = 23.0
PRINT cast(@Zähler as decimal(38,35)) / @Nenner
--> 4.826086
Of course, in the upper part 23 is implicitly an integer, in the lower example it is declared as decimal. But what if I need to devide by 23.5? Why is dividing by an decimal reducing the results decimal positions?
I am importing an excel spreadsheet into a MS SQL database table. When the spreadsheet is finished importing, I am noticing that some values that were brought in resemble something like this 1.41666666666667. Other values may be shorter or only have 1 digit. The problem is another web application that pulls this data for use in online forms only allows up to 2 digits. How can I round all of the numbers like the above to 2 decimals and replace the existing values?
I know there is the rounding function that could be used like so:
SELECT ROUND ([Hrs Total 2],2) FROM AnnualClassifiedPAFs
How do I then take that rounded value and insert it back into the records?
I am creating a table on SQL Server. One of the columns in this new table contains whole integer as wells as decimal values (i.e. 4500 0.9876). I currently have this column defined as Decimal(12,4). This adds 4 digits after the decimal point to the whole integers. Is there a data type that will have the decimal point only for decimal values and no decimal point for the whole integers?
I wanted to convert a dataset from vb.net (2.0) to an .XLS file, by MS Jet. My national standard is using decimal commas, not decimal points for numbers signing the beginning of decimal places. But the MS Jet Engine uses decimal point,in default. Therefore, in the Excel file only string formatted cells can welcome this data, not number formatted. How can I solve or get around this problem?

I'd like to convert a Decimal value into a string so that the entireoriginal value and length remains intact but there is no decimal point.For example, the decimal value 6.250 is selected as 06250.Can this be done?
I am designing some reports for a German branch of my company and need to replace decimal point with a comma and the thousand comma seperator with a decimal point.
e.g. ‚¬1,500,123.00 to ‚¬1.500.123,00
Is there a property that I can change in the report designer to allow this to happen or is this something I need to convert in a Stored Proc.
The following SQL statement returns the correct totals except that the total value is shifted on decimal place to the right. i.e. a real total of 955.68 is displayed as 9,556.80. The total_ar field is a money type. Any help would be appreciated.

I have got txt file and I am trying to import this file into the database. For that action I use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. I use Locale Czech and CodePage 1250. In the text file is the column in that format: 18152.65 - it is number with decimal point. When I use BCP utility for importing data, I use datatype decimal(10,2) and everything is OK. But when I try to use Import and Export Wizard, I choose for that column datatype numeric (DT_NUMERIC - precision 10, scale 2), the Import doesn't start and occurs the error:
- Executing (Error)

I would like to Not have the value round up. I would like to always show only the first two digits to the right of the decimal and not perform any rounding.
I have a closed polygon that coincidently is in the shape of Iowa :) I have a point that is within the state and a point WELL outside it, but I get weird results that I don't expect when I try to get it to tell me that the point is within the polygon. Here is some basic code, with long coordinates data.
(1 row(s) affected)As I read that there is a distance of about 7864 meters, this is close to what I would expect, so that's ok. The point outside I would expect a distance as well so that is confusing.. Then we have the intersects, it says that the point inside does NOT intersect but the one outside DOES, this is backed up by the intersection values.
I'm using OpenRowSet to import about 30 columns from a csv file with 190 columns with a format file. Ultimately, I want to put this in an SSIS Package. I am receiving the following error when trying to import date and decimal info.
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 990, column 64 (TOTALSALES). There are several similar errors. I looked at this line and it is 17873.34 so I am not seeing the problem. Every value in the column is either 0 or a 2 digit decimal value. If I change the SQL Column and format file to to NVARCHAR, it imports fine.
The existing format file and SQL Column looks as follows. There are multiple errors referring to different columns and all of them seem to be valid decimals. I am having the same issue with date fields that exist in the csv as 20130521. If I bring it in as text, it is fine.
The SQL Column is defined as Decimal ((15,2), NULL))
I created a small csv file with representative decimal, date, integer and NVarchar fields and it imports into SQL fine as decimal and date info. The SQL Query used is pretty simple. Ultimately, I am planning to create a package that imports this data and joins to a production table based on values in the csv file. It will either update existing values in a Production Table or insert New Values
INSERT INTO Import.dbo.test1 SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:ShareImport.csv', FirstRow=2, FORMATFILE='C:ShareImport.xml' ) AS t1;
I am assuming there is bad data in the csv file but I'm not sure how to identify it as my test file seems to bring in date values with a format of 20140923 and 2 digit decimal values and that is what exists in the line numbers being referenced. I've not used OpenRow Set for this purpose before. The only workaround I've found is to bring it all in as text and create additional fields so I can cast or convert the date values which I'd rather not do as this process seems to work in my small sample file.
I have a requirement where i have to insert empty string in column whose datatype is decimal.
I have to replace the column value if it is null then insert it as ' '.
Obviously its generate error msg for conversion, is there any workaround for this. I cannot add 0 or other value as this column is used to generate some output value.
IIF(Column1 IS NULL, ' ', Column1))
I used TRY_PARSE but it insert null value if there is conversion error.
I'm in stage of manually populating a database that requires me to have about a dozen tables open simultaneously. It would be great to be able to save the tables, locations and sizing so that these can be recalled and opened automatically. Currently I do a screen capture, which is pretty lame.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

I have created a simple package that uses a sql command to pull data from an oracle database and inserts the data into a sql 2005 table. Some of the data fields that i am pulling from contain two digits after the decimal point, however this data is lost when it gets into sql. I have even tried putting the data into a flat file, and still the data is lost.
In the package I have a ole db source connection which is the oracle database and when i do the preview i see all the data I need. I am very confused and tried a number of things to get the data into sql, but none work. Any ideas would be very helpful.
I have a table that contains spatial points and the name of the polygon they belong to (geography and varchar columns). I need to write a function to accept a point and determine which polygon contains that point. How can I write the query so that it will search through each polygon (derived from the geography points found in the table) and return the name of the polygon that contains that point?
Our backup system has worked ok for us to date. We can restore back to either full saves or up to a certain log (we take log backups on the hour). We've never had to, but wanted to test restoring to a point-in-time with the backup data.
What the system does is generates .mdf and .ldf files, which is essentially a full backup say in the middle of the night. It then creates .bak files for the log backups based on the backup set you want to restore.
I can detach the database and apply the .mdf and .ldf and re-attach the database, but to apply the .bak files I need to get the database into a (recovering) state. I can't seem to do that. Otherwise when I try to apply the .bak files the system says: The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward.
How to apply a .mdf and then apply the .bak files?
I'm trying to insert into a table from an XML file. The mapping works OK however there is a problem with one of the fields. It is field name "Length" set up as Decimal(18,2) and it stops on the first row with an error, something like "Cannot convert to decimal". The values are all integers, such as "9", etc. but I presumed SQL would convert to "9.00" for example. It has worked for another field name "Weight", where values are stored in the XML file such as "0.28", etc. Does it reject it because it's an integer and needs to be to two decimal format in the XML?
I have a decimal value, 10,55,263.55 . This value should be converted into lakhs and the output should show as 10.55. I need to display in lakhs. What is the query do I need to write to get this output.
I have just started studying for an MCTS, to eventually get to MCITP for SQL Server 2k5. I am currently in an Application Support position, working with a large clinical Oracle Database, but mainly on a simple querying basis. The plan is obviously to get away from the Tech Support, towards the DBA and I have been researching the current job market and never once found a job offer that said "offering an entry level or Junior DBA position for those that are just starting"... There's always at least a few years of experience already as a DBA required!
I am wondering how one is supposed to get that experience if he doesn't get a beginners position to start off with?
Any stories from experience? Any hints where to look, how to apply and where maybe?

I'm running SQL Server 2005 on a Server 2003 machine serving both our home network as well as a remote site through a point-to-point T1. While file transfer speeds are up to par, the remote site's interaction with SQL Server (Point of sale system) is very slow. After testing I am certain that it has nothing to do with the actual physical machine in place neither is it an issue with the program itself since speeds are as they are supposed to be over the home network lan. It seems that there might be a packet size issue or something of the sort. Has anyone dealt with this before or have any thoughts?
First off, I appreciate the time that those of you reading and responding to this request are offering. My quesiton is a theoretical and hopefully simple one, and yet I have been unable to find an answer to it on other searches or sources.
Here's the situation. I am working with SQL Server 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have a series of databases, all of which are in Full recovery mode, using a backup device for the full database backups and a separate device for the log backups. The full backups are run every four days during non-business hours. The log backups are run every half hour.
Last week, one of my coworkers found that some rarely-used data was unavailable, and wanted to restore a database to a point in time where the data was available. He told me that point in time was some time back in November.
To accomplish this, I restored the database (in a separate database, as to not overwrite my production database) using the Point in Time Recovery option. I selected November from the "To a point in time" window (I should note that this window is always grey, never white like most active windows, it seems), and the full database backup and the subsequent logs all became available in the "Select the backup sets to restore" window.
I then tried a bevy of different options from the "Options" screen. However, every restore succeeds (ie: it doesn't error out), but seems to be bringing the database back to a current point in time. It's never actually going back to the point in time I specify.
My questions are as follows:
a) Is it possible to do a point in time recovery to a point in time BEFORE the last full database backup?
b) If so, what options would you recommend I use? (ie: "Overwrite the existing database", restore with recovery, etc etc).
I again appreciate any and all advice I receive, and I look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone on this topic. Thank you.
